THIS BLOG WAS CREATED FROM THE VERY BEGINNINGS OF SCARBOROUGH ATHLETIC'S FORMATION

Scarborough Athletic F.C were formed on June 25th 2007 following the winding up order imposed on the old club after the local council turned down the club's survival plans. The club were finally forced into liquidation with debts of £2.5 million by a High Court judge, and so ended the club's magnificent 128 year history, no thoughts or consideration was to be spared for anyone connected with the club or the towns footballing public. However a trust had been formed and we were prepared for such a situation should it arise. The Seadog Trust applied to the Northern Counties East League to enter newly formed Scarborough Athletic and they were succesful in their application.
The new club are a continuation of the old one, they have the same kit, badge, motto etc and most importantly have kept a large number of the old supporters. This blog was started by me from the very beginnings of Scarborough Athletic FC and will follow the fortunes, both good and bad of the newly formed club as they try to get back to the higher levels of the football pyramid where they rightly belong. A rival team has also been formed 'Scarborough Town', I do not expect that particular club will have much of a future, but do they realise the damage that they are causing to the future success of football in the town, our town cannot support 2 teams, Athetic are here to stay, we are the town's number one football team and will return to the higher levels of the game in the next few seasons..


THIS BLOG WAS ESTABLISHED FROM THE BEGINNINGS OF SCARBOROUGH ATHLETIC AND WILL CONTINUE TO FOLLOW THE CLUB ON THEIR JOURNEY BACK TO THE FOOTBALL LEAGUE. I AM NOT HERE TO ADVERTISE OR MAKE MONEY FROM 3RD PARTY LISTINGS, I AM HERE TO SIMPLY FOLLOW THE CLUB AND TRY TO KEEP THIS BLOG AS INTERESTING AS POSSIBLE. COMMENTS ARE WELCOME.

COUNCILLORS. GOOD AND BAD.

AFTER ALL THAT HAS HAPPENED TO SCARBOROUGH FOOTBALL CLUB, MAINLY DUE TO THE COUNCIL, AND IN PARTICULAR IT'S LEADER CLLR FOX,WHOSE DECISIONS DID EVENTUALLY BRING THE CLUB TO IT'S SAD END. IT WAS GOOD TO READ THIS SHORT MESSAGE IN TODAYS EVENING NEWS.EVEN IF IT IS MUCH TOO LITTLE- MUCH TOO LATE.

CLLR' JOHN BLACKBURN SAID "AS A SUPPORTER OF SCARBOROUGH FOOTBALL CLUB I FEEL THAT I MUST EXPRESS THE IMPORTANCE OF A FOOTBALL CLUB TO THIS TOWN. IT IS SO IMPORTANT THAT SCARBOROUGH HAS A FOOTBALL CLUB AND FACILITIES FOR A FOOTBALL CLUB TO PLAY IN SCARBOROUGH,
NOT BRIDLINGTON. SCARBOROUGH WITHOUT A FOOTBALL CLUB WOULD NOT BE THE SAME PLACE. I URGE ANY SUPPORT WE CAN GIVE TO HAVING A FOOTBALL CLUB IN THIS TOWN AND SOMEWHERE TO PLAY". NICELY PUT Mr BLACKBURN, BUT WHY DID YOU NOT SHOW A BIT OF THIS PASSION IN THE COUNCIL MEETINGS WHICH DETERMINED THE END OF THE CLUB.
